When are we going to get AV1 hardware decoding support in Firefox? RTX 3000/RX 6000 and Intel 11th Gen have AV1 decoders, and lots of videos on YouTube now use AV1.

I think Firefox supports AV1, but YouTube might prefer VP8 or VP9.

VP9 videos on YouTube use my GPU's decoder, but AV1 videos do not. I have an RTX 3070.
